Horizontal Repeat, Version 2

Repeating Data

The printed image defined by a sequence of Code V commands and data may be repeated horizontally and vertically through the use of Code V Repeat commands. This technique is often used to replicate labels, allowing the user to print numerous labels from a single command sequence. Using a Code V Repeat command typically results in faster printing since the printer only needs to process the image to be printed once, then simply duplicates the image across the page.

There are two Repeat Command versions. All of the features of the Version 1 Repeat commands are included in the Version 2 commands. For this reason, it is recommended that the more powerful Version 2 commands be used whenever possible. The Version 1 Repeat commands are discussed on page 98.
